The guide was excellent however having paid almost 200 euros for a private tour and then subsequently having to share the taxi with 8 other people, was unacceptable

Chiara was absolutely wonderful. She was punctual, pleasant, and very informative! We had a lively discussion during our 3 hours together. The glassblowing demonstration was impressive, albeit short (about 10 minutes total). The real objective seemed to be to get you to buy something from the shop. I expected this to an extent, but the pressure to buy was a bit uncomfortable. Most importantly, the guide was great, and the town was charming!
